Avante
Human trading settlement in the desert, and along
with D'voronai, believed to be one of the

Chandrelin
(Ruins of)
The tragic and haunted remains of a great High Elven city lies deep
beneath the ground in an enormous cavern, safe from treasure-hungry
bandits and hidden away from all memory.
D'Voro
Remains of an ancient Dwarven civilization deep within Mt.
Thundertop. It had survived and flourished for thousands of years,
using the dorment volcano's fire as an energy source. Most of the city
was destroyed during an unexpected and uncontrollable eruption. The
few survivors abandoned the ruins and founded two other nations:
D'Voronai
"The Hand of D'Voro" - The first of the two Dwarven nations
founded after the horrific destruction of D'voro.
It has been rumored that secret caravans of Dwarves and supplies have
been seen leaving D'voronai
at night and heading deep into the wastelands.
D'Vorovoi
"The Heart of D'Voro" - The second of
the two Dwarven nations founded after the horrific
destruction of D'voro.
From its battlements, the still-smoldering ruins of D'voro
can
be seen in the distance. It was founded with the hopes of eventually
funding an expedition into the ruins of their ancient capital.
